Figure 7

Genetic variation (Y-axis) and recombination rates (X-axis) of autosomal genes following removal of genes associated with overrepresented GO terms. Genetic variation estimators (θω, θπ) and their skew (Tajima's D) for the African population of D. melanogaster. In all graphs bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Compared to solitary genes, the * indicates a significant difference in recombination rate (X-axis) (P-value ≤ 0.05; Mann-Whitney U tests, two-sided; not corrected for multiple comparisons), and the + indicates a significant difference of the evolutionary property studied (Y-axis) (P-value ≤ 0.05; Mann-Whitney U tests, two-sided; not corrected for multiple comparisons). See Additional File 5 for these analyses prior to the exclusion of genes with over-represented GO terms, and the analysis of X linked genes.
